ABC: Priming records on insert
1999-01-05 -- Jim Katz

The special thing is that it is not the table being browsed I want > to create a record in. Assuming you have created a form procedure for the record you wish to update, you must set the GlobalRequest to InsertRecord immediately before the form is called. And you must prime the record by doing Access:FileName.PrimeRecord(), this method returns 0, or level:benign if successful. So you can do something like this: If Not Access:MyFile.PrimeRecord() !! Prime the record GlobalRequest = InsertRecord Update:Myfile !! < call the update proc If GlobalResponse = RequestCancelled Access:MyFile.CancelAutoInc() !! Call this if you have an auto-increment key End Clear(GlobalResponse) End HTH -- Jim Katz
